DREAM SAVED MAN FROM DEATH IN SLIDE Engineer Awoke 15 Minutes Before Big Slide Came and Sense of Dan ger Caused Him to Move. SCENIC HOT SPRINGS, Wash., March 3.

Andrews says be was awakened from a sound sleep at 1 o'clock In the morning. He-lay still a few min utes unable to go back to sleep.

WORLD-WIDE MONEY TROUBLES EXPECTED Disorganization of Money Markets of the World Expected Owing to Non Passage of English Budget. LONDON, March 3. A world-wide disorganization of the money market Is believed to be Inevitable by finan ciers here today as a result of the evident impossibility ot passing the governmental budget before the end of the current fiscal year. This will compel thousands who had money invested to withdraw it because of tho lack of government funds. Among these are many who bad held back their taxes in the hope ot escaping final payment. These In vented their tax money and tho fail ure of the budget to pobs will compel thom to removo their money from in vestments. Tho money actually belonging 'to the government and Invested tempo rarily In this way amounts to many millions and Its suddeu removal will have a depressing effect throughout the world. A discussion In tho commons show ed conclusively that It will bo Impos sible to pass the budget before the end of the fiscal year. It Is estimated that the arrears ot taxes resulting from failure to pass the budget will exceed a hundred mil lions by tho end of March and that a torge part of this sum will bo perma etly lot to the government, TELLS HORRORS OF GREAT AVALANCHE . One of tho Rescuing Party at lington Tells of Great Slide and Its Horrors Many People Were Burled Alive. SEATTLE, Wash., March 3. This is the story Vaughan Ellis, first ot the rescuers at Wellington to roach Seattle, tells today. "Away up In tho summit ot the Cascades mountains today there is spread ou tho evidence of the most horrible cainhtrcpho over recorded In tho histojy ct the northwest. "I was one ot four that formed tho t'rst res-ate party out of Seattle. P!r turo a ten-acre tract of Umber sud denly swept clear ot Its majestic trees with only the green branches and an occasional protruding stub. Thero Is no sign of a wreck, that is, no piled up cars or overturned en gines. All you can seo Is snow just plain snow with scattered stumps and branches of trees And away down beneath this mass, 40 to 50 feet below, Is tho splintered de bris of two trains, three engines, four motor cars and a superintendent's car. "Wo all risked our lives at Scenic to get to Wellington to sec tho wreck, out ot curiosity more than anything else, and when wo reached there ex hausted were sadly disappointed, for there was nothing to seo but snow. "Tho slide struck the train at 1:43 a. m. Tuesday. The watch belong ing to an anglncer was found dented and stopped at that time. Some tell ot the awful roar of the avalancho. but no one was awakened at the hotel at Wellington. Alfred B. Hensel, a mall clerk, was thrown through a window of his car and hurled far ahead of the wreck. In his night robes he struggled back up the can yon and woke tho sleeping people In the hotel. Immediately came the cry 'everybody out' "Then Indeed was everybody out. A hundred and fifty men rushed to their shovels and flew to the rescue. "Occasionally you would hear a groan underneath the snow and then the shovels fairly flew to the rescue. It was not always a living person that the sturdy arms passed out. Many times It was not a whole body. More 'often Just a leg or arm or even a hand. Out of tho first pile of splin ters and snow came four bodies, un identified. Strange to say, the next four out of the same pile were very much alivo and proceeded to walk to Scenic Immediately."
